I have to ask: This is another one I get confused on. Right/Left, Conservative/Liberal, Blue/Red, Democrat/GOP What kind of thought would make this sort of intrusion on Individual freedoms? Is it GOP? I thought GOP was for LESS government? Is it Liberal? I thought Liberals were all for individualism and expressing oneself? I think it is just WRONG thinking if someone can't paint their own building pretty much any darn way they want. Not that I think it is bad or anything. I think La Casa (mexican food at the old Pizza Hut East of City Hall looks great and we have enjoyed their food many times. But oh my gosh, they actually have COLOR on their building that is NOT drab, dreary or muted. GASP!!! I am just wondering if the new laws forbid that kind of colors....... I sure hope not. I think more restrictions are simply ridiculous. Its more of why he did it and the way he did it, i think is the question. with casa they followed structural design.

My husband pointed this out to me, and my exact response was, it looks like a skyline. Maybe that is what he was going for. Honestly, with a little white, and more blue, it could be an awesome scene. I love the idea of painting up the old buildings! It called culture people! When you explore the world, on vacation, do you look for places that look like boring brick buildings.

Hey Oldtimer, I've been meaning to post this picture for a while. You must not have seen this building or I'm sure you'd be screaming about it on here. It is painted with bright colors on a much bigger percentage of the building and a lot more visible than mine: "] I doubt that the owners read SO though, so I looked up their contact information so that you could call them idiots with no business sense bringing down property values here and warn them of the death threats they could receive for painting their building with bright colors.

I know, isn't it terrible?
There is a push to create more restrictions to keep buildings like this out of our community.

Rhodes III CFO: William T. Giles COO: Harry L. Goldsmith You do understand that the auto zone building is not downtown? You understand that the city wants to have a conform law for buildings in the downtown area? Do you understand the difference between downtown buildings and the auto zone and how the law would effect those buildings in the downtown area? If you would have spent as much time on your aquaponics proposal as you did researching auto zone you may have been approved. I dont like the way you painted your building and it appears the city agrees. You have to get over the fact that me and the city don't and move on. This thread was started a month ago. Man up and move on. I will not comment in this month old thread again.

Rhodes III CFO: William T. Giles COO: Harry L. Goldsmith I have seen AutoZones and other corporate stores that are located in strip malls where they have adopted the earthen tones for the buildings, so they were unable to use a lot of their corporate logo/striping combinations. Lets face it, there has to be mix in the regulations. Certainly if all the buildings were in an earthen tone, it could be less detrimental than having a bright pink building as a neighbor. Finding a new lease might also be easier. I couldn't imagine having a bright red buiding in one block, a lime green building in the next block, etc, in downtown Ottawa. It would clash negatively with the look they are trying to achieve. Now in a place like Manitou Springs,CO, I would expect every building to be unique and "patchwork" looking since that is the look they are striving for. Both the earthen tone look and the patchwork look will work, depending on the region, the clientele, and other factors but I cant see them working in the same area at the same time. I guess it just depends on the vision you want for your community. I think the newer shopping areas where buildings are tied together should be in the earthen tones. Stand alone buildings should have more of the flexibility to express themselves. Downtown areas are a toss up for me. I like the way Ottawa's downtown looks, but at times I like the eclectic look of a place where each building is bright and contrasts with its neighbor. It all depends on the businesses you think you can attract along with the customer base that will support it. Kyle's vision tends to lean towards that "hodge podge" patchwork look and could very well work. I tend to lean towards a downtown more like Ottawa. Even though it looks pretty, I wouldn't sacrifice all those parking spots the way they did. They have created a nice atmosphere with their parks, and they have many events geared towards their downtown area and we could do the same here with the improvements we have made in the park.
